Tech Support and Basic Questions Thread - May 04, 2024 Weekly Game Suggestions Thread - May 03, 2024 Arrowhead CEO: We are talking solutions with PlayStation, especially for non-PSN countries. Your voice has been heard, and I am doing everything I can to speak for the community - but I don't have the final say. AH CEO: I am not blameless in this. it was my decision to disable account linking at launch so that players could play the game. I didn’t ensure players knew of the requirement and we didn’t talk about it enough. We knew for about 6months before launch that it would be mandatory for PS titles. Sony has now delisted Helldivers 2 from being purchased on Steam in 177 countries. It also seems at least some people in those countries who have already purchased the game, can no longer play it. Eyeing the Helldivers 2 backlash with a nervous flop sweat, Sucker Punch assures us that Ghost of Tsushima won't need a PSN login for single player STEAM starting to issue refunds for players over the 2h playtime limit due to PSN on Helldivers 2 Helldivers 2 has now received 84,000 negative reviews in the past day.
